Powerfact: There is a big difference between “being” and “doing.” We go through life and through our business and balancing both can become stressful. When we start off our day off by waking up to a To-Do list, it can feel draining rather than inspiring!

Being vs Doing
So, what exactly is “being”? Here’s a couple examples: when a ballerina is dancing, and she stops thinking about the mechanics of what she’s doing and suddenly the music and her passion for what she’s doing takes over and she does this impeccable dance because now she’s dancing to the music with her whole soul; when a singer cuts loose and they are belting out that ballad from their heart. That football player makes the game-winning catch, and he feels like his hand was being guided by God himself.
That’s the state of BEING rather than doing. There is no thinking involved.
Markus Wasmeier
Markus Wasmeier was a skier from Germany and he won two Gold Medals in the 1994 Olympics for men’s downhill skiing years ago. He was interviewed after, and this reporter asked him “How did you feeling going into the race?” This is what Markus said:
“The conditions for me to win were right - I felt no stress or pressure – no anxiety which is my biggest adversary. When you feel too much or think too much then you’re not skiing, your thinking – the continuous mind is too slow. If I’m thinking about the next marker, I know I’m losing. I know I’ve done good when I get to the bottom of the hill and all I remember is the top.”
